I'm not mentally ill, I'm a master of a thousand faces!

The main characters for "Storm Riders" have all been finalized.

The main male characters.

Kamen Rider... The future Kamen Rider, played by He Rundong as Bu Jingyun.

Zhao Wenzhuo, a martial arts expert, plays Nie Feng.

Xiong Ba plays Xiong Ba – oh wait, no, Chiba Makoto plays Xiong Ba.

Other minor roles were played in various ways.

There aren't many people with real names.

Li Yun didn't care.

Anyone who can get a spot on the Tianchi assassin list is welcome.

Proceed step by step.

Let's take it slow.

at this time.

When Li Yun arrived at the audition, before he could even introduce himself, the script supervisor spoke up.

"Oh...you must be Li Yun, right? Come in, Director Li has already spoken to us."

"Thank you... thank you..."

Li Yun felt somewhat flattered; Director Li Yanwen had even given him a special greeting...

Thanks a lot!

Director Li!

However, the script supervisor didn't seem to care much.

These directors may have mentioned it to each other while drinking and bragging.

An audition opportunity.

The director mentions dozens of them every year.

But how many of them can truly seize the opportunity?

If you're really close to them, you wouldn't just mention it briefly, you'd recommend it outright...

I understand everything I understand.

The entertainment industry.

There's no shortage of people.

...

Li Yun entered the audition room and found that many supporting actors were also there...

It seems that "Storm Riders" has a considerable number of Taiwanese production team members.

The entertainment industry is divided into several major factions: the Taiwanese circle, the Beijing circle, the Hong Kong circle, the Shanghai circle, and the relatively independent CCTV circle.

This "Storm Riders" is adapted from a Hong Kong comic book and produced by a Taiwanese company, which naturally features many Taiwanese artists.

The beautiful Jiang Qingqing must have just graduated this year... She's so young and fresh.

There was also Jiang Zhuping, whom Li Yun thought was the most beautiful woman in "Wind and Cloud".

And... um, what was her name again?

Kong Ci, who captivated the three brothers to the point of losing their bearings, is still someone Li Yun cannot fully comprehend even today.

Sorry.

Li Yun once thought...

A beautiful woman can be a source of trouble; at least Jiang Zhuping's looks are enough to make her a potential femme fatale.

There is Tian Xiaoli, whose charm remains undiminished, and Nie Feng's biological mother.

Li Yun, a mere extra, has no standing here.

Fortunately, though.

Soon another group of people joined, perhaps also auditioning for roles through various channels.

You should know that for big-budget productions like this, even auditions are highly competitive opportunities.

Even if you manage to grasp at that one straw.

It also depends on whether we can seize it...

"Alright, everyone, we won't be looking at anything else for today's auditions. We'll just focus on the scenes for a few roles. Give it a try, and I'll see which ones suit you best. Okay?"

Character director Wang Rui and his assistant are watching this group of people who have come to audition.

The audition was quite casual.

Only a few minor supporting roles are still vacant...

For example, characters like the Tianchi Assassin.

Many of the well-known supporting characters have already been removed; the clay idols, the nameless...

Only scraps were left for everyone to grab.

at this time,

Everyone started talking at once, explaining their own strengths...

Some men even showed off their big abs.

"Nice abs, but you're not relevant here."

"what?"

"With such impressive abs, what if he steals the spotlight from the male lead?"

They suffered defeat with tears in their eyes.

Li Yun watched as people from all walks of life were eliminated.

I took a deep breath.

When it was Li Yun's turn, he walked in with his head held high and chest out.

Wang Rui showed little interest, but his assistant's eyes lit up.

"He's kind of handsome... his looks are pretty good."

After looking him up and down, Wang Rui made a sharp comment.

"You've just lost some weight."

Li Yun, listening from a distance, was utterly speechless.

I go.

You think someone's abs are too big?

I'm thin, but you complain that I'm too thin.

Li Yun was speechless.

of course.

They're in charge of auditions.

It's an old man!

At this moment, Li Yun solemnly said, "I have experience acting in the martial arts drama 'Xiao Shiyi Lang,' I also have a special actor certificate, and I know some kung fu."

Li Yun spoke very frankly, without any omissions or concealments.

Wang Rui was somewhat surprised to hear this.

They even have a special guest actor certificate.

Having this certificate is already very rare among extras.

After all, in most cases...

Instead of wasting time preparing for certification exams, it would be better to cultivate relationships with the character director or casting director; building good relationships with them is the real key...

Wang Rui nodded slightly.

"good."

No matter what.

I'm willing to get a certificate to improve and prove myself.

They always give people a good impression.

of course.

This positive impression.

The premise is that you can get a role opportunity.

This positive impression.

Only then will it be useful....

otherwise.

You don't even have a way to get in touch.

That's not very useful anyway!

but.

Li Yun, who has a special actor certificate.

She has already pulled ahead of the other auditionees by a small margin.

The auditions here are very casual.

It lets you showcase your understanding of "江湖人士" (jianghu figures/people of the martial arts world). Anyway, there are plenty of minor supporting roles, so take whichever one suits you, or if none of them suit you... just play it easy.

The acting skills are also good.

Kung Fu or whatever.

These are all advantages.

Regarding kung fu.

Wang Rui had even less hope.

Finding someone with real martial arts skills among the extras is, to say the least, a pipe dream.

If someone really has real martial arts skills... well, they don't look like someone who practices martial arts.

The production team of "Storm Riders" didn't have high requirements for kung fu action. With sufficient funding and good technology, they went straight for electronic special effects.

Wang Rui knew.

The special effects in my own TV series, "Wind and Cloud," are top-notch.

Maximizing special effects is like a skillful technique; having them is naturally excellent, as it saves money by minimizing the need for special effects. However, not having them doesn't really cause much of a problem.

At most, there are requirements for the main character.

Zhao Wenzhuo was one of them.

He wields a knife with incredible skill.

It's that simple.

"You can begin..."

At that moment, Li Yun picked up the knife.

When I played a bandit before.

It's really easy to use a knife.

When Li Yun started twirling his sword, a hint of fierceness still lingered on his face.

Wang Rui and his assistant were completely stunned.

Good guy.

That's quite a skill!

.....

the other side.

The cast of "Storm Riders" is rather bored, with quite a few actors from Taiwan.

Zhao Wenzhuo, an actor from mainland China, felt somewhat out of place among them, so he also came here to watch the auditions.

Seeing that Zhao Wenzhuo was so boring, He Rundong followed along.

"What's so interesting about this place?"

"I'm so bored."

Zhao Wenzhuo shrugged.

His relationship with He Rundong is fairly good.

After all, one is Bu Jingyun, and the other is Nie Feng.

They play brothers in the drama, but if they don't get along off-screen, they can't portray the feeling of the characters.

"Many of them got in through connections, and they should all have a suitable role." He Rundong looked at Zhao Wenzhuo, intending to talk about the play, but saw Zhao Wenzhuo looking at the audition room with a surprised expression.

He Rundong looked over in confusion.

I go.

That knife trick was really impressive.

Li Yun twirled the large knife in his hand.

He looks thin, but his skills are anything but!
